Wow.... Aniplex really is trying to win over even more casual consumers at this point, those that haven't already pre-ordered the BD/DVD/LE already, if they're even targeting Hulu viewership, huh?

Maybe there ought to be a little disclaimer proclaiming that these are the "Director's Cut" BD/DVD versions of the show-- aka, the "upgraded" episodes that most fans of the series following the original Japanese television airing probably haven't seen yet. That could certainly rack in more viewers.

Even better, it's subbed on Hulu (only subs right now). Definitely worth a rewatch for sub fans. I just put it on alert for more episodes on Hulu.

Animerican: That, or they really need to dump off excess units which didn't sell very well in Japan.

The episodes on Crunchyroll and Crackle are also subbed.

If you have a subscription, clearly CR is the place to watch it, as you can get HD and no commercials.

And if you have an Android device and no CR subscription, its between Crunchyroll and Crackle, which both have free Android streaming apps.

I just today turned off my HuluPlus ~ I got tired of watching ads for content was supposedly paying access for.

And if you want to watch it on TV, but you don't have a Roku box or any of those other streaming devices, but you happen to have an Xbox, Crackle's the best choice there.
